scs787 Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 Bears not trading for or signing Trent Williams the last 2 years when they were "in the discussion" really sucks. Just saw where he was rated as the top player in the NFL last year. Like not just the top LT, but the top player overall. Oh what coulda been. It only costed a 3rd and a 5th, so at this point you coulda had Williams and a different high pick not named Tevin Jenkins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scs787 Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 Random outside the box thought here. Jadeveon Clowney has said in the past that he loves matching up against guards and has played the 3 tech I'm some sets.....What do we think about bringing him in to play inside? Or maybe bringing him in as a DE who shifts inside on passing downs? He's not that much smaller than Buckner who was a beast in Indy. With Armstead off the board the bears have money to play with. Bears have shown interest in Honey Badger this off-season too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duane was a Seahawk and is still available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chw42 Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 Dolphins gave up a 2022 1st, 2nd, 4th, and a 2023 4th and 6th rounder for Hill. Then he got a 4 year and $120 million deal with $72 million guaranteed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted March 23, 2022 Author Share Posted March 23, 2022 I just don't see paying that much cap space to a wide receiver in the case of Oakland, Miami working out well. Hill, Adams definitely aren't just boiler plate WRs, but I still think you hit a breaking point in team balance for both teams where you gotta take the cap space + draft capital.

T R U Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 Excellent trade, desperately needed a play maker like that for Tua I dont even care about the picks, we still have 2 firsts next year. The money is whatever as well, theres always a way to work around the cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because the Chiefs could have kept him, doesn't mean they wanted to do so at the cost. Then of course there was the compensation headed back to them that helps making that decision as well. The Chiefs have a QB on a massive contract as well as a handful of others with very large cap hits, Miami doesn't have that QB contract currently. I didn't mean the cap is non-existent, but for a lot of these large contracts you can still maneuver around to do what you need to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scs787 Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 Bears signed Dakota Dozier...who was one of the worst guards in the league the past few years. I know depth is always needed, but oof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Parkman Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 This is wonderful, the Packers and Chiefs have 2 late 1sts and no WRs. By the time the Bears pick at #39 there might not be any WRs worth the pick left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bears will get a good WR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure talent will go off, but alot of guys who would be 1st round picks in alot of other draft years will still be on the board by the time the Bears pick. That's the point.

That's the point. This offseason needed to be about giving Fields the tools to be successful, and Poles has completely failed there. They need weapons and blocking, and they have very little. The OL is probably worse than it was last year as it stands right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
